To Love You Again

Chapter 109 - Preparation (II)

Chapter 109 - Preparation (II)

Xiong Wuyue was looking at the arrival of the new dresses. It was all so extravagant and the quality was top notch.

"As expected of Mr. Cang!"

Suddenly the door opened and a happy face of Xiong De appeared.

"Wuyu'er! Dad has good news for you!"

Xiong Wuyu faces scrunched up a bit.

"Dad, what are you doing in my room? Can it wait? You see, I'm checking out my clothes." Xiong Wuyue ignored Xiong De and kept looking at the clothes. It was the clothes that she would wear in the upcoming event of IAmFashionista.

Xiong De glanced at it. However, he ignored the clothes that cost thousands of dollars.

"Listen. I happened to get information. Tomorrow is Lu's second young master's birthday. It will be a big event!" Xiong De said with excitement boiling in his blood.

"What. Lu? As in THE LU family?"

Xiong Wuyue thought she misheard.

Xiong De nodded.

"It seems the second young master who lived in New York recently flown back in China. He would celebrate his birthday tomorrow. For sure, a lot of BIG and legendary people will be there. It is a chance." Xiong De's greedy eyes gleamed.

However, Xiong Wuyue was not convinced.

"So soon? If that so big, why I didn't hear of it?"

"My daughter, the more discreet it was the more private it is. And who attends people in private? Big and mighty figures. The Lu family probably wants to stay quiet about it. Fortunately, I have a lot of connections. Or else, I will miss this opportunity. I got information that a lot of mighty figures will attend. Because the Lion Lu invited them personally! I bet all the legendary families will attend! We have to attend this! No matter what!"

Xiong De was really thrilled. He could imagine those legendary people in one place. And he will be there as well. He was looking at them like those people are a bottomless gold mine.

Xiong Wuyue's heart now was stirred.

"That great? Who is this second young master? Will he inherit the Lu Empire?"

She asked while her eyes gleamed.

"I'm not sure. But we can confirm on that day. " then Xiong De turned to Xiong Wuyue.

"Daughter, you can use this chance to see if this second master is worthy of your heart. I heard he has a beauty that could rival the angels. If you.."? manage to capture his attention, we will have more opportunity to raise! He intends to say

But Xiong Wuyue cut him off.

"I know that father. Your daughter knows what to do. Even I have someone in my heart, I will see to it if that man is worthy of me. I'm open to anybody. " Xiong Wuyue said. She was confident that she could trap any man to fall for her. Even though playing someone's heart might be cruel for her since she has someone in her heart. But for their path, she would help.

Ah! Her beauty would be used again.

Xiong Wuyue put her hands on her cheeks.

She just wished that Lu Second master really has great beauty and would succeed the Lu Empire.

In Guan mansion.

Guan Gao Huan was having dinner with his grandfather and his two older brothers.

"Tomorrow is the Lu second young master's birthday. I'll be attending. Who will come with me?" Old Guan asked while he sipped on his soup.

The moment Guan Gao Huan heard of the 'Lu second young master' he momentarily stopped.? But he continued eating like he was not interested.

"Tomorrow? That's quite fast. They managed to keep the matter very secretly." Guan Guri said with surprise. Guan Guri just learned recently that Lu Yin Ze, their former playmate, just got here in China.

Guan Guri was the oldest among the three masters of the Gu family. Right now, he was handling most of the company in the Gu Empire. However, Old Gu seems to not be satisfied with him. Guan Guri was just average and there's no exceptional thing about him.

"I can't come. You better come, older brother." Guan Xixin, the second young master, said to Guan Guri. He was ignoring Gao Huan's existence.

Guan Xixin was in college now. He was attending a top university in the U.S. but he recently went home after Guan Gao Huan went to China.

Guan Xixin was smart and capable. Old Guan believed that this second grandson of his would be good at handling the business. However, this second grandson of his doesn't have any ambition to lead the empire. Guan Xixin just wanted to support his older brother, Guan Guri.

Old Guan just stayed silent. So Guan Guri did not say anything as well.

Old Guan suddenly turned to Guan Gao Huan.

"How about you, child? Are you free tomorrow?" It was clear that Old Guan decided to bring Guan Gao Huan instead of Guan Guri.

Guan Gao Huan politely smiled. He looked at both of his brothers. He did not forget to stare back at his second brother who was looking deeply at him with unconcealed enmity.

Guan Gao Huan just smiled.

"I'm sorry, grandfather. But I think it's best if First brother Guri attend the banquet with you. First brother is handling the Guan empire now. It's good for the empire if both of you attend the event." Gao Huan said.

"Ha. Ha.Ha. of course! Of course! You have the most insight! Fine, I'll bring your brother Guri. It's nice to have a family in harmony!" Old Guan said while he drank his wine. He was clearly happy.

Old Lu was most satisfied with Guan Gao Huan among his grandsons. This third grandson of his was a genius, excellent, polite and knew when to step back for a greater benefit.

Guan Gao Huan just put a polite smile on his face as he eats. No one seems to know that he really wants to attend as well. It was an event with a lot of opportunities. He could imagine who's people will attend. If his grandfather would personally come, for sure other mighty figures will come as well. But then he has to give up this opportunity for the sake of his mask.

"Thank you, brother." Guan Guri thanked Guan Gao Huan sincerely.

"No worries."

Gao Huan answered however his grip on the fork become tighter. For now, he would give this chance for this idiot to attend.

After the dinner, Guan Guri and Old Guan went straight to Old Guan's study. Maybe they would prepare for tomorrow's event.

Guan Gao Huan lastly left the table.

As he turned to the stairs, Guan Xixin was standing and leaning on the wall. He stared coldly at Guan Gao Huan.

Gao Huan ignored him and passed him by. But Guan Xixin spoke.

"It's so disgusting how you act earlier. You might fool grandfather and brother Guri. But not me."

Guan Gao Huan with a polite smile looked back at him.

"I don't know what you're saying older brother."

Guan Xixin stared at Gao Huan's face. He started at his golden eyes.

"Don't call me brother. We're not even blood-related, you freak." Guan Xixin strode past him while bumping his shoulders.

Guan Gao Huan was left silently on the staircase.

He was clenching his fist until his nails broke his skin. A small amount of blood flows out.

When he felt the pain, Guan Gao Huan calmed down.

'One more...just one more..'

One more and he would lose his patience to this so-called 'second brother' of his.

That time he wandered if that man could still run his mouth like that.

Xiong Zhi fell down on her bed. Today was so tiring!

She met with Fang Dien and company for the ArtWorld. She also met with the four in SHM.

All the brainwork was taking a toll on her and making Xiong Zhi sleepy.

Then a ring suddenly wakes her up.

Xiong Zhi with all of her strength tapped the answered button.

"Zhiii!!!!! I almost forgot to tell you!! Sheez! It's a good thing I checked my stuff! Or else Yin Ze would really strangle me to death-" Then thinking of Lu Yin Ze's angelic face while strangling her, the strangling part was blurred, Song Xuantin changed her last sentence.

"-or maybe not. I can't imagine him doing that. Thank God! You're still awake! Are you prepared now? You should prepare. Should we go together? Oh, but I will bring Gu Zhen with me. But. I did not give it to you earlier. Tsk. I should have given it to you. I totally forgot. So yeah, we should all three go together. The invitation is with me-" Song Xuantin did not give Xiong Zhi a chance to speak but spout words afterwords.

Finally, as Xiong Zhi wasn't making sense of what Song Xuantin was saying she cut her off.

"Why are you calling?"

Song Xuantin finally stopped her long tirade and went back to the main subject.

"Tomorrow is Yin Ze's birthday."

Silence.

"Who is he?"

Song Xuantin turned silent.

"My goodness. You've been with him for more than a month already. Every day you sit beside him. And he even presents us with food every lunch! How could you forget him?" Song Xuantin said unbelievingly

"Oh. You're talking about Lu Yin Ze."

Xiong Zhi finally realize they are talking about Lu Yin Ze.

"Duh. Is there another Yin Ze in our classroom?" Song Xuantin said with rolling eyes.

'Well, it's a common sense that you have to call him LU Yin Ze. Since he is a part of the legendary Lu family. '

Xiong Zhi thought.

Only with the same status as the inner circles in the family, they could call each other in first names. Even Xiong Zhi called Lu Yin Ze as Lu Yin Ze.

Only Song Xuantin has the guts to do that to Lu Yin Ze as well as with Xiong Zhi.

"How do you know about it?" Xiong Zhi asked. It was just too sudden. She didn't also hear the news that there will be an event like that. Unless it was so private and discreet.

"He gives us invitations. "

"I don't receive any."

"Uhm. That because I accidentally got yours and brought it home. Don't worry, we will meet ahead of time so I can give you the invitation. I will bring Gu Zhen. He wants to come." Song Xuantin said.

"Alright. Tell me the address. "

The two then discussed what they would bring for Lu Yin Ze as presents.
